Delmhorst Instrument J-2000 - Manual (Page 5)

SET SPECIES
The J-2000 defaults to Species Code #1 - Douglas Fir - the
USDA standard and basis for all calibrations. Because the
electrical characteristics of different species vary, all species
read differently at the same moisture content. For this reason
you need to adjust for species. If you are working with a
species other than Douglas Fir, set the species code using the
species button
#
, and the meter will make the necessary
corrections.
hTo change species press the species button
#
. The meter
will display the current species code for one second.
hTo scroll forward through the species list hold the species
button
#
while the current species code is displayed and
scroll to the species number desired.
hTo scroll backward through the species list, press and
release the species button
#
. Within one second, press
and hold the temperature button
$
. Continue to hold the
temperature button
$
and the species number will
decrease.
hWhen scrolling in either direction, release the button to
stop at your desired species.
The J-2000 can be used to test more than just wood. It will also
give a relative reading on plywood, OSB, particleboard and MDF
or can be fitted with a 26-ES slide hammer for specific
applications. Call Delmhorst at 1-877-DELMHORST or e-mail
[email protected] for information on how to interpret the
